Reactions
Lightweight peer signals without the noise
Three reactions — agree, insightful, disagree — that surface quality without the noise of generic likes or upvote/downvote brigades.
Built for the way research actually happens
Reactions are the lightweight peer signals attached to every post and every reply. Three options — agree, insightful, disagree — give readers a way to signal without the noise of generic likes or the toxicity of upvote/downvote brigades. Each reaction is one tap and visible to the author.
Reactions feed into the quality signal that shapes feed ranking. A post with many insightful reactions reaches more readers. A post with many disagree reactions stays in its community. Reactions are public (the author can see who reacted) but do not generate notifications — they are ambient signals, not interruptions.
